 As far as I know currently we don't have a way to show `-with-rtsopts`
 options provided when compiling an executable. It'd be useful if `--info`
 showed this. Some use cases:

 - When you have multiple binaries of the same program you can see how each
 one is compiled. Useful when debugging.
 - Sometimes we instruct users saying "compile with this and run with
 that". This steps becomes easier with `-with-rtsopts` because with that
 the user doesn't have to pass runtime parameters. But currently we don't
 have an easy way check if the users did it right. If `+RTS --info` showed
 this information we could say "look at the info, you should see this and
 that".
